[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Re: Nagykedd szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel is from John’s account of the Last Supper, where
Jesus acknowledges Judas as his betrayer and tells him to get on with it.
God’s desires have been, from the beginning, opposed. Consistently, human
beings have preferred the isolation of sin to the festivity of the sacred
meal. Theologians have called this anomalous tendency the mysterium
iniquitatis (the mystery of evil), for there is no rational ground for it,
no reason for it to exist. But there it stubbornly is, always shadowing the
good, parasitic upon that which it tries to destroy. Therefore, we should
not be too surprised that, as the sacred meal comes to its richest possible
expression, evil accompanies it. Judas the betrayer expresses the mysterium
iniquitatis with particular symbolic power, for he had spent years in
intimacy with Jesus, taking in the Lord’s moves and thoughts at close
quarters, sharing the table of fellowship with him—and yet he saw fit to
turn Jesus over to his enemies and to interrupt the coinherence of the Last
Supper. Those of us who regularly gather around the table of intimacy with
Christ and yet engage consistently in the works of darkness are meant to
see ourselves in the betrayer. Reflect: When have you been confronted with
the "mystery of evil," and what role did your faith play in processing that
confrontation? Ó bűn nélkül fogantatott Szűz Mária, könyörögj értünk, kik
hozzád menekülünk! *
